Chosen People
Spending Shabbat with one of the biggest African American congregations in the country

REPORTED BY ERIC MOLINSKY on

http://audio.nextbook.org/podcast_feature776.mp3

At least 40,000 African Americans are practicing Jews who believe that Judaism is part of their heritage. They call themselves “Hebrew Israelites,” and their faith has been met with everything from curiosity and enthusiasm to skepticism—or even outright hostility.

Eric Molinsky visited Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken, http://www.bethshalombz.org/about.html
a Hebrew Israelite synagogue in Chicago, to find out from congregants and clergy how they practice their faith, and what led them to it. Featured prominently in his report: Rabbi Capers Funnye, cousin to first lady Michelle Obama.

God on Trail: PBS Video  

Why is there so much suffering in the world and what kind of God would allow it to happen? Universal questions about faith and philosophy are at the heart of God on Trial, which was inspired by the legend that a group of concentration camp prisoners conducted a mock trial against the Almighty God.
God on Trail
A tour party arrives at Auschwitz, and as the guide leads the visitors through the camp, the scene moves to life in a block house on one day during the war.

God on Trial is available on DVD from PBS Video
